About

Canvas Weddings provides unique and artistic wedding planning services in New York's Hudson Valley and beyond. We like to think that our work on weddings is similar to an artist’s work with his paintings. In order to create his masterpiece, he must understand and appreciate his root element ---the canvas. That’s how we approach our wedding work --- we first and foremost get to know, understand and appreciate the couple --- our root element --- whose special day we are helping to create. Everything else flows from that.

We have found that the more couples treat their weddings as expressions of their unique identity as a pair, the more simple, stress-free and joyful the planning process becomes. Modern wedding planning can be a taxing and exhausting process --- in fact, some say that the average wedding consists of nearly 5,000 details! As such, we believe it is our duty to help each couple determine their unique point of view, which will, in turn, narrow the focus of the event and simplify the decision-making process.

As your coordinator, clients can rely on us for prompt communication, an organized approach, a trusted confidante and a friend whose main goal is to help them create an artful, expressive day that they can enjoy and look back on with fondness.

Founder Corinne Van Arsdale created Canvas Weddings with the notion that every couple (and every wedding) is different, which is why why we offer a wide variety of services to help you create your wedding masterpiece. We offer packages ranging from wedding weekend coordination to full-service start-to-finish planning, as well as a la carte services and hourly rate consultation sessions. Canvas Weddings also provides coordination services for surprise engagements, bridal showers, bachelorette parties, engagement parties, and more.

Want a Heart-Led, Detail-Oriented, Creative Team to Support your Wedding? Look no further

Working with Canvas Weddings was a dream come true! My wife and I immediately felt at ease with both Bonnie & Corinne, as they "got it" — fully supporting our unique vision of a wedding and helping execute day of so we didn't need to sweat the small stuff.

One cool thing about their story is that they come from the theater project management and set production world - so you're not just getting a kick ass event planner, but someone who really knows what it takes and what's possible for a high stakes production - which weddings can often be!

We worked primarily with Bonnie leading up to our big day, who went above and beyond in every single way! She truly cared about us and played such a supportive role in this rite of passage. We really appreciated her emphasize on finding the joy in the wedding planning, which can sometimes feel tedious. Canvas Weddings had many helpful resources, from check lists and reviewing contracts to "misc stuff" they brought to the wedding. We could say 10 million more things, but to summarize, we can't imagine our wedding with Canvas Weddings and would recommend 10/10!

Corinne is an absolute savant

Corinne and her team are absolutely incredible and amazing human beings. We met Corinne back in 2021 and knew we would be planning our wedding over the course of 2 years. She checked in periodically, helped us read through the fine print, looped us in only when needed, and executed our vision flawlessly. She answered any question no matter how big or small and always made herself available to us during the two years. When it came to the actual wedding weekend, she made it completely stress-free. She and her team executed the day of the wedding seamlessly and catered to all personalities of our families and friends with extreme professionalism. She and her team are the people you need by your side and we truly think we couldn't have had our wedding weekend without her.

10/10 Recommend Bonnie through Canvas Weddings!!

We worked with Bonnie for our wedding this past fall and couldn't have been happier with our experience. We opted for Canvas Weddings partial planning/wedding coordinator package, which allowed us access to Bonnie's services throughout the 3 months leading up to our big day. Bonnie was in touch, responsive, enthusiastic, and organized. She guided us step by step through important and easy-to-forget "to dos" throughout this crucial time, always prepared with talking points at our meetings. She was on top of our vendors with whom she frequently communicated, and alleviated us of the stress of assuring our plans were all set from that end. We worked together to carefully construct our wedding "day of" schedule down to every minute detail, along with contingency plans for each part. On our wedding day, Bonnie assured everything ran smoothly and on time, managing us, our wedding parties, our guests, and our vendors seamlessly. This was of utmost importance to us because we wanted to focus all our attention and energy on each other and our friends and family on our special day. Bonnie was reliable and troubleshooted any bumps in our plans throughout the day efficiently and effectively, all while remaining cool, calm, collected, and always smiling. The fact that she didn't exude any stress during these moments made us feel at ease the entire day, no matter the situation. Truly, she elevated our wedding weekend to a height we couldn't have achieved without her, and we are so grateful to have had her as a part of our team.
